@Gaffer A good rule to apply and understand, is that the prophet in most cases does not understand the given prophesy. The understanding is given in the New Testament, in other words, the New Testament explains the prophesies of the Old. This is the case with the virgin birth of Christ, and...

Luke (or should I say the Holy Spirit) applied "parthenos" directly to Mary. Luke 1:34 "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"

The New Testament authors took directly from Isaiah the word "haalmah" in the Hebrew, which means "virgin." That word translated into the Greek is "parthenos" and I have given the definition for it.

Well, Jim, I'm not actually explaining to @Gaffer, I'm explaining to those who may be confused by his lies.

The KJV translates Strong's G3933 in the following manner: virgin (14x). Outline of Biblical Usage [?] a virgin a marriageable maiden a woman who has never had sexual intercourse with a man one's marriageable daughter a man who has abstained from all uncleanness and whoredom attendant on...

What you believe is twisted into your agenda from the Scripture. But no worries, anyone can see that agenda, along with the pride that drives it.

Of course you don't believe the Scripture. So you can't believe the Scripture when it plainly tells us that Christ personally chose Paul to bear the truth of the Gospel to the Jews and the Gentiles.

"Key beliefs in Judaism" give me a break!!! You do realize that Judaism denies Jesus Christ and despises the thought of Him.

You forgot the part where Paul told us that "the Law was our schoolmaster" to point us to Christ. Of course the only way to keep Law and commandments is to totally ignore Paul, who was given personally by Christ the meaning of the New Covenant.

That is your opinion, "almah" means a young woman/a virgin. This prophesy was given to Isaiah as a rebuttal in the efforts of Satan working through the kings of Syria and Israel to do away and unseat Ahaz. Ahaz was the seed of David and king of Judah. they were trying to make void (through...

LOL, the "Masters of the Law" the Jewish scholars are the ones who started this junk. They hate Christ as much as you do! Several truths of Christ denied by the Jews can be pointed out in Scripture. The Atheist is just following suit in the rejection of the Christ.

LOL, Isaiah plainly predicts a "virgin birth." But the God hating heart of man will not admit it. From the heart of man comes his "great wisdom," his pride that rules his ways.

Approximately 1/3 of Scripture is history, 1/3 instruction, and 1/3 prophesy. About half of Scriptural prophesy has been fulfilled. Give Christ the time to fulfill all things, it's for the benefit of humanity.

That is exactly what it is, totally missing salvation. All because they can't see that salvation takes place instantly, the very moment you believe. It's sad, but nothing can be done, they absolutely refuse to see it.

Since you put it like that, I will comment in discussion, but not argument. Yes, the 2 events that Paul and Peter speak of are the same. The reason I'm commenting is that I believe you want to understand the other side, seeing that you and I disagree on several things concerning the Day of...

There's a difference in claiming to be saved and actually being saved. I have never believed any Atheist who says he has been saved, including you.

When you consider the price He paid for your redemption, allowing His perfect Son to be shamed, spit on, beaten nearly to death and hanged on a tree to die, you can rest assured He's dead serious on how you react to the One called Christ.

Ok, Robert, you have outright denied Grace through faith, making it void. You have chosen to stand before the throne of God with your own merits in justification. So be it!

Robert, can you explain what Paul is saying here? Rom. 4:4-5 "Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."

@Gaffer There is something that the majority of self-professing Christians don't know, and most would not understand if shown, let alone the Atheist. Proverbs 1:23 "Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you." This is the promise...
